Although while pacing is slow, it’s the type of story which will definitely reward players with their patience. Trails SC pretty much focused on the society, whom you had already met one of them way back in FC (which you probably would had remembered to be one of the hardest fight of the game). Admittedly, it’s unfairly advantageous though, since FC had already set up all the plot points and twists, and SC just needed to follow up. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Trails SC took it up several notches. I thought FC’s story was pretty good despite being a RPG romance with fair amount of light-hearted moments, but that was just a tip of an iceberg. Taking some time to recover mentally, Estelle also set up on her own journey too-a journey to bring back Joshua and to fend off the society “Ouroboros”, a dangerous group of men who had been threatening the major cities of Liberl, the same society that Joshua used to be in, and the same society Joshua is trying to bring down as well. Remembering his forgotten past, Joshua left Estelle on a dangerous hunt on the “society”, and hoping to bring down the one who calls himself “Professor”, the one who had been manipulating him around on the very first day.

Here’s the thing though, when you waited that long, expectations will just keep building up, how would Trails SC fare against all those expectations though? Well, it more than enough met my expectations, and more, and considering how long I have waited and how much my expectations have been building up, it’s really a testament to how good Trails SC is.

Note: SC is the sequel of this trilogy, and if you haven’t play FC (the prequel), note that this post will contain FC-relevant spoilers, since the story picked up immediately from FC.Īhh, Trails SC, I have been waiting for this shit for 5 years! Okay, maybe not that long, but close (checking the date of my review on the prequel, it’s written on August 2012, but I probably finished the game even way back).
